A boil water advisory that had been in place for five days in the Bellefonte area was lifted on Monday, according to the Borough of Bellefonte.
The advisory was issued Wednesday for customers in Spring and Benner townships served by the Corning system after a water main break. The Corning line runs along Route 150 and the Benner Pike, from the Belle Aire Hills and Amberleigh areas to the Rockview state prison property.
“We are pleased to report that the problem has been corrected and that it is no longer necessary to boil water,” a message on Monday from the Borough of Bellefonte, which manages the system, stated. “We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.”
While the advisory was in effect, residential and business customers were directed to boil water for at least one minute before drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and food preparation. At least one business saw some of its operations impacted: Giant supermarket on Benner Pike posted a sign that hot bar and salad bar foods were unavailable at the time because of the advisory.
